​@@insidetechltdYeah mate. Kudos to you! Altho not even a mention of the Sony XM5s? Many feel it should've been among the top 3 (if not the best) 🤔 Would you care to weigh in

[@Physics_HB]

Is the Freebuds Pro 3 one of the best options for me? if I am looking for noise canceling, sound quality and loudness... I also want those sitting with me not to hear the sound I play. And I don't care about the mic and calls.... also I will use them while I am staying in my place, meaning that I will not move or play sports while using them

[@Arya-Aviation]

The Beoplay EX is no joke, for me the sound quality is better than most earbuds and even headphones.

[@Sonulema]

Hey bro, can u help me about B&O EX.. i wanna buy this earbuds but i'm not sure... sound quality and call performance is too much important for me. especially call quality. which earbuds is perfect for u? and also everyone says that anc/transparency is sucks on beoplay ex. what do u think?

[@Arya-Aviation]

@@Sonulema for me the beoplay EX is perfect for sound, but for call quality its rather a good-top tier, maybe not as good as the airpods pros. I recommend you to go ahead to your nearest B&O store so that you'll really know what you want. However it is really expensive for the EX, and for me the 2nd gen airpods pros will do enough for both areas, with tweaking the sound profile in the settings will do the job.

[@gssf.gr29]

@@Sonulema Well I nbought the HX full size headphones and I was really disappointed with them. The build quality is second to none and the sound clarity is great but not much bass (and I don't like too much, but it's weak on the HX), they're not very powerful compared with the Shure Aonic 40 I bought recently new for £150, and the ANC is very poor. I've only used them a few times and alrfeady the touch panel on the right side doesn't work, so in my opinion you're just paying for the name.

[@WhipItSBreezy]

The Technics AZ80 is bar none, the greatest set of wireless earbuds I've ever listened out of. It gives you that surreal feeling when you're listening to songs & hear something new that you were never able to catch with previous earphones. The customizability is the cherry on top, what a GOAT!

[@runawaytechgal1467]

I had to return them because everyone said I sounded terrible on calls

[@Gustavo_St]

@@runawaytechgal1467 I tested them in a noisy environment against the Apple 2 Pro, and it's without question that the XM5 is much superior, particularly with the latest firmware, which significantly improved mic quality. That being said, it is not the best mic in the market. It is just that Apple's are really bad in noisy environments. I also own a Technics AZ80, which is slightly better than the XM5 in mic quality. But my real winner for mic quality is the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro. The mic quality in noisy environments of these little buds is mind blowing.

[@Gustavo_St]

@@nimrodszocs2795 Since I got my XM5 and AZ80, my Airpods Pro 2 sit on the couch, for watching Apple TV only, where the spacial audio makes a nice difference. For daily commuting both are superior to Apple in both sound quality and mic quality. Apple is particularly bad with mic in noisy environments. And does not multipoint outside of Apple devices, which is a deal breaker for me.

You are amazing; so glad to have discovered you!

[@benypharm]

I have them since 6 months now, and despite of an excellent sound quality, I find their calls and mic quality poor. I was surprized to see in the review that calls quality is good. Practicly no voice isolation in a noisy environment. Everybody complains about not hearing me clearly during my calls.

Very structured and easy to comprehend. Averall a video that gives a variety of options when u search for a pair of earbuds that u want it to have a specific strong point.

[@JasinskiMusic]

Devialet Gemini 2 or Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX should be the best overall

[@deanowarrior]

Back to back tested the devialet , b@o ex , sennheiser 3 and one more evo over 2 hours. Cannot speak for the momentum 4 but the 3s are a clear step ahead of the other on pure audio quality. Other benefits were loudest output if needed and don't clip like the devialet did for me. The sound optimisation has to be done though to get the best from them.

[@GlassHouse80]

I have had the Technica AZ80s, Denon Pearl Pro's, the Sennheisser Momentum 4's and most recently bought the Devialet Gemini 2's. It's safe to say if you want something with immense sound, good multipoint connectivity and you mainly use them at home or on a train etc, the Devialet as the best by some distance. In terms of sound, it's not even close. If you want a good all rounder then I would go with the Technics, but if you have had a pair of Devialet 2's and you go back to the Technics, the Technics sound inferior to me.

[@norrismannjr]

I say the same thing. I had both and the devialet are so much better sounding.

[@LokiDaFerret]

Which one wins best overall on a budget? A la best value for money?

[@NegyedMisi]

So glad to see my daily driver, the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 ! They are way underrated!

[@insidetechltd]

Agreed!

[@PerezChilli]

Unfortunately, for listening to music they are not a better choice. Highs are harsh and cause sibilants. Annoying to listen to female vocals. Bass response is very slow also.

[@timgraysontv]

1More EVO sounds amazing, looks great, and is an incredible value!

[@SammyTheNerdRage]

Is it worthwhile to purchase the Devialet Gemini II over the Technics EAH-AZ80E if sound quality is a priority, or is the difference not significant?

[@insidetechltd]

It's subjective since everyone hears differently. But i'd say there is enough of a difference, yes. It's like Technics is at the top of a list of many great sounding earbuds, but Devialet is in the next category up where very few earbuds belong

[@dansaghin1]

Amazing work, great video

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you!

[@richmarks8578]

I'm NOT spending over $60 for a set of earbuds anymore! Why? The Battery. When the battery is gone (AKA-will not charge) inside the buds, all these overpriced earbuds, you will end up throwing them away!!! These company's are making a killing off us "customers", but will not implement a battery replacement. Most earbuds, if used everyday, will last maybe 1.2- 1.5 years, then they are done! Why are these company's not giving us the option for the consumer to charge to only 80-85%, which will help make the battery's last another year. For anything over $200, the battery needs to be user replaceable, and maximum charging ceiling also needs to be flexible . This crap has gone on to long, and it should be a major feature of expensive ear buds. They can throw all the features they want at me, but in the end, I will end up having to buy another set of $250 earbuds in just a little over a year. F--that!!!

[@NikeTMC]

I've seen a test with the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 in a car with open windows and driving 70 km/h and there was (nearly or really) no wind at all hearable. You test this 1More Evo and I can hear the wind still for a short moment while your standing. The Freebuds Pro 3 have the nearly maximum quality out of the 16 kHz available over Bluetooth for the mic. It's very impressive to not even find the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 in the Top 3 for mic-quality. Call quality is really important and they do very well.

[@insidetechltd]

I have them in 4th for mic quality - so it's quite clear that both testers found the earbuds to be extremely good for phone calls

[@devinjanosov]

Bose open earbuds remain on your ear through a kickboxing match. I literally sleep with them in every night and they never ever ever fall out (and I forget when I’m wearing them 99% of the time); but I’ve been a gigging drummer for 25 years, and am functionally deaf, and they are not loud enough, and the mic for phone calls is a total joke (no one can hear me speaking in a quiet room). I just got Sony’s open earbuds and I’m testing them out now to see how they do.

I love my jbl tour pro 2! Cant belive it aint on that list!😢

[@JMMinorSituation]

If I’m looking to buy Bose, should I go for quiet comfort 2, or ultra ?

[@insidetechltd]

What are your priorities with the earbuds?

[@JMMinorSituation]

@@insidetechltd ANC mostly. I have AirPods Pro 2 already, but wanted to branch out.

[@insidetechltd]

In that case I'd honestly go for the QC 2 (as long as they're cheaper). I think the sound and mic quality is a little better on the Ultra, but not enough to justify the price difference you'll likely find the QC 2 for

[@JMMinorSituation]

@@insidetechltd yeah the 2 are currently $80 off on Best Buy

[@vinsoer]

This is awesome, I appreciate the hard work!

Thank you!

[@SibTiger33]

Excellent list and completely agree with your picks but maybe not the order 🎉

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you!

[@michaelbarton7929]

Both Jabras were a letdown for me this year. I prefer buds over stems and don’t really care about mic quality. Linkbuds are solid for their price but their sound is hugely underwhelming compared to many other options. I’m an Apple user and the daily driver is the Momentum 4s, alternating with Bose because the comfort fit is better and so is the ANC, but M4 have as large as a gap on Bose in sound quality as Bose has in ANC. Solid review and breakdown fella, appreciate the effort and detail.

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you 👌🏼

[@johndoe-vc1we]

Jabra was a letdown in what sense. It won't compete against the momentum for sound or the Bose for ANC. Both of which are class leaders in those respective categories

[@michaelbarton7929]

@@johndoe-vc1we I'd rather use the Samsung Galaxy FE than either of them. The Nothing Ear are miles better in several areas, got mine during a prime sale for 100$. That kind of sense of letdown. Nevermind the new Galaxy buds pro 3 wipe the floor with just about everything other than IP rating. Take care bud

[@johndoe-vc1we]

@@michaelbarton7929 I've had my eye on the FE but it won't compete for ANC with the Elite 10. Also why would you go with the jabras if you had a momentum and Bose already? I have none of the above.

I've tested them. Got a full video on them vs Pixel Buds Pro if you're interested

[@Davidsquirl]

Could you do a video on Auracast? I'm having a hard time figuring out which devices support it. Earbuds, transmitters, USB adapters, Windows version, Android version, different phones... Because earbuds need a controller to pick the broadcast, it's harder than just having a compatible transmitter and receiver.

[@insidetechltd]

I think the issue is it's still a bit early for Auracast. Unless you're buying with the next 2-3 years in mind specifically, I wouldn't worry too much. It'll become more widely available in the future and I expect will become a useful feature - but for now it's early days

[@AndrewYouTubehandle]

Excellent review - in depth testing and a wide range of devices looked at. It's also great that you mention ear tips - I use spinfit ear tips as the difference in audio quality and comfort more than justifies their price. In the past I've had the Sony linkbud S and really liked them as small all rounders. However, I settled on the apple airpods pro 2 which I used with my android LG v60 and more recently with an iPhone. The airpods pro 2 (with spinfit ear tips) are my go to all rounder for noise cancellation, transparency, audio quality, comfort, controls, pocketability and longevity (the battery can be replaced too)- for my android and ios devices. I have some Status Between ANC earbuds and love their triple driver audio quality. They don't support Aptx or LDAC, showing just how more important hardware, good tuning and good fit is for audio quality compared to codecs (also source files matter. I switched from Spotify to apple music on android and ios and the difference is huge - and the same price). Battery life on the Status Between ANC is excellent with 8hrs on ANC (their ANC is decent but not airpods level). Without ANC, the Status Between earbuds battery life is an excellent 12hrs. The earbuds and case are Ipx 5 rated. For £160 I've found them excellent value. And I like their distinct appearance compared to most other earbuds. I was wondering if you'd tested the Status and how they compare to the Geminis? (Only 5hrs battery life for the Gemini rules them out for me). I was wondering if you've tested the Cambridge Audio m100? I had the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1+ and loved the superb mids and audio quality, small size and long battery life.

[@insidetechltd]

I have a full review already for the Status earbuds on the channel. Gemini offers superior detail, instrument separation and soundstage. Also other benefits like comfort and stronger ANC. Not tested the CA M100 yet, but i've tested and featured their previous earbuds on the channel in the past. I personally prefer the Touch model to the 1+ and they featured some of the best audio quality for the price

[@AndrewYouTubehandle]

@@insidetechltd thanks for your reply, much appreciated. It’s great to have the choice now. If the next Gemini has a much longer battery life I’d definitely consider them. The Status Between ANC with their audio, ipx rating and 12hrs battery (without anc which wasn’t important for how intended to use them) and at £160, were hard to beat for me when I already had the AirPods Pro 2 (brilliant all rounder. And they have a replaceable battery - a consideration for me. I have some detachable Shure mmcx earbuds that work with Bluetooth ear hooks or cables and have lasted 10years). I love good audio quality but when I’m out and about there is a limit to how much I can do focussed listening (and when I’m out and about I’m mostly listening to podcasts and audiobooks). At home I have planar wireless headphones for convenience and wired IEMs & headphones which, with a decent dac amp give me better audio quality, staging etc that I’ve yet heard on wireless earbuds. I’ve only just come across your channel and subscribed because of your review as it’s an excellent. I’m going to enjoy going through your other videos and when I’m next after earbuds and more I’ll be back for sure!

[@papervws]

battery can be replaced on airpods pro 2? huh?

[@AndrewYouTubehandle]

@@papervws yup. Take them into an Apple Store or send them in. They’re built to last. I’ve had some wireless earbuds from lypertek and others where the battery drops significantly after a year. The battery in Sony wireless earbuds lasts and lasts. I’ve still got some wfxm3’s. The battery can be replaced but it’s very tricky and easy to break. Fairphone do headphones and I think are doing earbuds.

[@antonhalk8792]

Good timing

[@scottybranch3063]

I’m wondering if you have any thoughts on Status Audio’s earbuds? I have the 2nd gen earbuds without ANC that I think have a pretty rich sound. Just wondering what your thoughts might be on this company’s products.

[@insidetechltd]

I certainly do! Here are my thoughts on them 👉🏼 Status Between 3ANC In-Depth Review (vs Between Pro) | Triple Driver Earbuds! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i33Lh5avoN6haLc

[@radutenea7149]

Sony Linkbuds S have a major problem: uneven charging followed by battery drain issues. Mine were ok for two years but while out of warranty the problems with battery drain popped up making them useless.

[@FightingTexasAggie]

do you have a chart somewhere with all the rankings on it? it would be great to be able to compare other options with the winners.

Amazing video!!! You are the greatest of all comparison I videos I have watched. (And I have a ton)

Thank you 💚

[@kirop7]

What do you think about the Nothing CMF / Ear (a) or the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE? I am choosing between these mainly because of a limited budget and care mostly about sound quality, comfort and not having them fall out
